Listen to Éxodo 8:25
25 Entonces llam贸 Fara贸n a Mois茅s y a Aar贸n, y dijo: Id, ofreced sacrificio a vuestro Dios dentro del pa铆s.

Éxodo 8:25 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron
He and his people not being able to endure this plague of flies any longer; and we read in profane history of such creatures being so troublesome, that people have been obliged to quit their habitations, and seek for new ones; so Pausanias F20 relates of the inhabitants of Myus, that such a number of flies rose out of the lake, that the men were obliged to leave the city, and go to Miletus; so Aelian F21 reports, that the inhabitants of Megara were driven from thence by a multitude of flies, as were the inhabitants of Phaselis by wasps, which creatures also might be in this mixture of insects:

and said, go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land;
that is, in the land of Goshen, in the place where they were; he was willing to allow them the liberty of sacrificing to their God, which it seems they had before; but then he would not consent they should go out of the land to do it.

Éxodo 8:25 In-Context

23 y yo har茅 distinci贸n entre mi pueblo y tu pueblo. Ma帽ana tendr谩 lugar esta se帽al.'"
24 Y as铆 lo hizo el SE脩OR. Y entraron grandes enjambres de insectos en la casa de Fara贸n y en las casas de sus siervos, y en todo el pa铆s de Egipto la tierra fue devastada a causa de los enjambres de insectos.
25 Entonces llam贸 Fara贸n a Mois茅s y a Aar贸n, y dijo: Id, ofreced sacrificio a vuestro Dios dentro del pa铆s.
26 Pero Mois茅s respondi贸: No conviene que lo hagamos as铆, porque es abominaci贸n para los egipcios lo que sacrificaremos al SE脩OR nuestro Dios. Si sacrificamos lo que es abominaci贸n para los egipcios delante de sus ojos, 驴no nos apedrear谩n?
27 Andaremos una distancia de tres d铆as de camino en el desierto, y ofreceremos sacrificios al SE脩OR nuestro Dios, tal como El nos manda.
